Lets face it Mike was well matched in a pretty dire time for good quality heavyweights. Lewis fought everyone in a time where there were more challenges than that of when Tyson fought in his prime.
Tyson would always find it difficult against a tall strong boxer type because Tyson was basically a small mediocre heavyweight with short arms.
Job Biscuit (Lewis wins every time)!!!

It is an awful matchup for both!
Yes, they were both awful fighters
If they had've been around between 1880 and 1960 you would be all over them like a fat kid with cake
And totally agree with the guys that said Lewis didn't have a questionable chin. George t Oliver McCall would've gone down from the Rahman punch
You sound like Amir Kahns old man about the Prescott fight!
So all the fighters that beat Rahman had a better chin than George Chuvalo? Hhaha!
Lewis never had a dominant period, he was gegting gift decisions v Mercer and looked shite v Akinwande and Mavrovic. He drew with Bolyfield because he was too scared to engage and got a shite decision against Holyfield because he was too scaredtoexchange and at the very height of his fame, he got proper sparked out cold by Rahman. What a joke!
